Being able to control our own behavior in the face of any behavior our child might throw at us takes a huge amount of awareness and self-control. Losing it, yelling and joining them in the "ring" doesn't teach our children what they most need to learn - that being self-regulation and being able to handle their own big emotions.

I am right in the thick of college applications and admissions processes with my eldest son and it's crazy!!! There's such a delicate balance required from us in assisting them but not doing it for them and assisting them enough that they don't feel overwhelmed by it all. In this episode, I share with you what I have been doing and it seems to have worked... so far!! Remember that how you cope with it will strongly influence how your child will ultimately cope with it. Tune in...

Whatever it is your child might be struggling with, it is so hard for us to watch the struggle. Whether it is emotional pain or physical pain, it can be such an uncomfortable place to find ourselves. We just want to fix it and take it away for them. But doing this robs our kids of developing some pretty vital life skills. Tune in...

Being aware of what we consume is so very important and not just in terms of what we eat! So what do you consume? What do you eat, read, listen to (besides this podcast LOL), think? Who do you hang out with? Does it all align with you positively? Does it fuel you and help you grow? In this episode, I discuss many ways in which we can hone and refine our consumption. Life is precious, why waste your time consuming anything that is not good for your mind, body and spirit. Tune in...

What does your child think of himself? Is he hard on himself? Does he feel down on himself at times? It's hardly surprising given all he has to try and cope with. In today's episode, I discuss Chapter 2 and 3 from the book "The Gift of ADHD". Understanding that your child's thoughts create his feelings, and that his feelings create his actions / behavior is vitally important to you being able to protect and nurture his developing sense of worth and self-esteem.

When you understand why siblings fight and what they need to learn as a result of it, it makes it much easier to help them work things out without becoming caught up in it with them. The problem is, all too often, and of course with the best of intentions, we become a part of it and when we do, the fighting, arguing and bickering persists, and our kiddos don't develop the skills they need to learn to handle conflict. If you struggle with bickering, arguing, fighting kids, then this one is for you! Tune in...

A saw a quote yesterday by Julie Lythcott-Haims, the author of How To Raise An Adult and it prompted the episode today. I was fortunate to hear her speak at a parenting event I attended a couple of years ago and she was / is nothing short of brilliant. It is so vital that we equip our kids with the life skills they need and not "helicopter" around them, with the best of intentions, of course. Tune in as I explain how you can hope to parent in a way that will raise your child to be an adult with the life skills they need...

Many of us are not bad at setting the boundary ie. saying "You can have 1 hour on your iPad." But how good are we at actually holding the limit and dealing with the inevitable pushback when the hour is up? In almost all the work I do with parents, this is one area where they admit they need help. Do you? If so, tune in as I share my boundary dance secrets...

I am reading a great book at the moment called "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" by Robin Sharma, and in it there was a great dialogue about cultivating our minds and cultivating our gardens which inspired me to record this episode. What we "put" in our minds and subject our minds to, and what we choose to listen to is sooooo important and such a great thing to be able to develop a filter for. Tune in...

In today's episode, I discuss Chapter 1 from the book "The Gift of ADHD". Whilst ADHD might not be seen as a "gift", we have to learn to see beyond the confines of the diagnosis and the negativity that the ADHD label might put upon a child and shift our focus to what makes each child with it (or without it) shine. We have to uncover and unleash the gifts that will be there that we just can't see because we are all too often, focused on the downsides of the "disorder". Tune in...

In parts 1 and 2 in this series I talk about the importance of meeting your needs and getting beneath your child's "behavior", and being able to set kickass boundaries, hold the limits and deal with the pushback. You see, if you don't have enough in your tank, you will not be able to deal with the pushback and stay non-reactive, and to add in the teachings from today's episode, nor will you be able to zip it, not say it and not take it personally... all the things you have to be able to do if you hope to stand a chance of preserving your sanity!

In this episode I share with you exactly how my meditation practice bailed me from a potentially hot-mess parenting moment. When I told my friends what happened last Friday evening, they couldn't believe that I held it together. One of them even asked my son if it was true to which he replied: "Yes, she's telling the truth, my mom was totally calm - like she never even raised her voice. I did, but she didn't!!". Tune in...
And, if you are a mom looking to cure the chaos, you can now register for The Chaos Cure (until midnight Jan 29, 2019), an online parenting course created by myself and my amazing colleague, Erin Taylor.

This is such an important thing to ask yourself and know AND to also know where you are on your "reactivity scale". In this episode I share with you my "secret" that will help you show up in a way that will allow you to meet your child's needs. PLUS, I introduce a new thing I'm doing for the next 10 Fridays on the podcast on ADHD. I'm going to be going through a chapter per week from the amazing book called "The Gift Of ADHD" by Lara Honos-Webb, PH.D. It will be like a book club so.... if you can and you're keen, hop over onto Amazon, grab yourself a copy and join me. It's going to be so cool AND I'm going to try and get the author onto the show with me. Watch this space.

There is no family who escapes this battle - what's with some teachers and the amount of homework they give! There's no way around this one but gaining some clarity around your underlying fears about it will help, and why when it's given for the right reasons it is not so bad. It's actually often us that make it worse than it needs to be!!!! And I speak for myself until I learned!! Tune in...

In the first 3 parts in this series, I touched the surface of this and spoke about how we can use the iceberg to highlight the fact that there is always much more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye. As parents we have to learn how to not take our child's "surface" behavior personally so as to not become triggered by it. It is only then that we might stand a chance of being able to keep our cool, not lose our s#*t and therefore be able to meet our child's need (the unmet one which is driving the behavior). For beneath the surface is always an unmet need. Tune in...

Every Child Needs To Be Celebrated For Their Uniqueness & Know That They Have Everything They Need Within

Tune in as I share a beautiful story and shed some insight on how we can help our children understand just who it is they are and that they have everything they could ever need - within.

It's Not About Your Kids, It's About YOU!
When your focus of attention is all on your child's behavior, you can overlook so much and miss the opportunity to be able to guide, help and support your child through whatever it is they are going through. Why is this? It is only by first focusing on yourself, and being attuned to how you are showing up, and knowing how you can control your own behavior in response to your child's that you might be able to tame your reactivity and therefore respond in a way that allows you to meet your child's needs. Tune in as I discuss this important understanding...

It's all too easy for kids today to identify themselves with "likes" on Instagram, the new cool shoes, their grade, the friends they hang out with, the house they live in or the label you or a teacher might have inadvertently given them - "He's such a SMART boy" or "She is such a GOOD student" or "He's my DREAMER or WILD child". Who does your child truly believe him/herself to be? What if you find that their sense of being is attached to these external things? There are many things you can do and in this episode I discuss some of them. Tune in...

When your child's behavior is "out-of-your-control" it can leave you exhausted and at your wits end. In this example I speak specifically to a 6-year-old that screams to be heard. Whatever the behavior is on the "surface", it is essential that we remain curious as to what might be going on beneath the surface to cause it. A child's behavior is like an iceberg - there's always more going on than meets the eye. Tune in as I get curious and offer some ideas for this mom...

How do you become empathetic? How do you help your kids become empathetic?

Many of us have experienced shame instead and all know just how that makes us feel. In this episode, I discuss what you can do to help your kids experience empathy and therefore develop it as part of their repertoir. Tune in...

I recently attended a one day course on Meditation and it was AMAZING! Not only did I get the chance to participate in 3 additional guided meditations to the ones I do myself on a daily basis, but once again, was reminded of the benefits of a meditation practice. If you do not have a regular meditation practice and are curious as to how to get started and why you should do it in the first place, tune in... I include a very basic 3 minute guided meditation.

Last week my son came home devastated because he had compared his mark to that of the classmate he had worked with on an assignment. I helped him see the futility of comparing yourself to anyone else because they are not you; they are different in too many ways to even imagine.

What do you do when one kid comes to you crying because their sibling has taken their toy or won't give up the remote? It is vital that we lead them without taking over because as soon as we become "involved" and get frustrated and perhaps take a side, it denies them the opportunity to learn how to resolve conflict without getting you on side!

In the frantic busyness that IS life today, for parents and kids, I think we are denying ourselves what we need to be human. How many times do you ever just sit and stare out the window, or stand in a line and not pull out your phone to entertain yourself for the minute you might have had "nothing" to do? What about your kids? "There are up to 70% more depressed teens today than 20 years ago - why - because they are choosing to stay home alone on their screens vs. human interaction", from the movie Selfless. In this episode, I share details about a film director who has made a movie/documentary to hopefully help inspire youth to be more present.

On special days such as birthdays and Christmas Day, it can be easy to become wrapped up (pardon the pun) in the form of it all and in doing so overlook what it really is all about. In all of it, we are prone to lose the formless gems... the gems of gratitude, love, being, energy, space, appreciation, feelings, essence, spirit. Tune in...

Tune in as I discuss how tapping into your senses can help you find more presence. I regularly do this to bring me into the present moment. When you are focused on what you see, hear, smell, taste and touch, you cannot be anywhere other than the here and now. The senses are the HOW to help you access the now.

When we impose our agenda or our wishes on our children, they really only have two choices; to fight against our wish or to comply. But I want to ask you if you really want them to have to do either? Would it not be better to equip them with the skills they need to be able to discern and choose their own way? Tune in...

Have you ever thought about the irony in the description we have given ourselves - Human Beings? Maybe way back we were better at being, but today, I'd say we would be better named Human Doings! In this episode, I give you ideas as to how you can create more space and stillness in your life to just BE and how you can help your kids develop this skill. They need it... big time! Tune in...

Parenting a child with ADHD can be sooooooooooo frustrating: the forgetfulness, lack of focus, impulsiveness and high energy can leave us absolutely exhausted and FRUSTRATED. As frustrating as it is, it will be more so when we overlook three very important things. In today's episode, I discuss the first of these things and explain why it is vital that you meet your own needs and what happens when you don't! Tune in...

Have you ever given much thought as to what your children think might when they hear you saying that you want them to be "happy" and "successful"? Despite us having the best of intentions, it can put an incredible amount of pressure on our children to feel that they have to be successful and happy, happy, happy! What do you mean by success? Have you ever given it much thought? And is it reasonable to want them to be "happy"? Do you mean all the time or just sometimes? What might they think? Tune in...

I don't know about you but I am at the stage where I don't want any more stuff. And I don't want my kids to get more stuff - we all have more than enough stuff! I don't want to see or buy another meaningless toy for the sake of filling a stocking. But what can you do? I came across this brilliant blog post by Kelly Homes, the owner of Happy You, Happy Family where she gives the reader 10 brilliant ideas for filling your child's stocking with fun, meaningful experiences. The link to the blog post is below. Thank you, Kelly, for inspiring this podcast episode. Tune in...

Meditation has helped me raise my thought awareness BIG TIME and I want to help you do the same! Thoughts can become quite a burden.

Refining your boundary setting skills and knowing how to hold the limits is such a valuable thing to do. There are few parts to parenting that do not require boundaries in some shape or form: getting up in the morning, meal times, bedtime, screen time, homework, chores and even helping a newborn develop good sleep patterns.

This is a really hard thing for parents to manage. It is so easy to launch into "lecturing" your child and pointing out what won't work when they approach things differently to you and especially when the plan is not logical, practical or remotely doable!

Do you know what fills you up? Tune in...

The pressure on kids to achieve high grades seems to be spiraling out of control. Kids are so much more than their grades and sure, at a certain stage in their lives, of course, the grade matters, but what is the cost?

Have you heard of the book called "How To Break Up With Your Phone" by Catherine Price? It is a highly thought-provoking read and inspired me to write a blog post on the subject and dedicated this episode to reading it. If you are looking for some ideas as to how to be less attached to your phone and are interested in role modeling a healthy relationship with your phone to your kids, then tune in...

Dealing with our kid's emotional outburst or poor choice of behaviour can sometimes leave us at our wit's end and result in us not behaving much better than they did!! Learning to control ourselves is THE hardest thing to do as a parent. Trust me, you are not alone. Tune in...

When your toddler has behaved in a socially unacceptable way (tantrum, kicking, biting etc) it is vitally important that you separate the deed / behaviour from the do-er / your toddler. In other words, it's the behaviour that is questionable, not them. Doing this will allow you to remain compassionate, empathetic and kind while trying to work out what the need was beneath the behaviour. This is what they need from you, especially in the heat of the moment. Tune In...

Understanding just what is going on inside my teenagers' heads has really helped me develop more empathy for them and help maintain the strong connection I have with them. In this episode, I share with you some of the takeaways from Dan Siegel's book, Brainstorm which is all about understanding the teenage brain! It helped me so much that I wanted to share it here with you. Tune in...

Do you worry about what other moms might think of you or your child? What if your child misbehaves? Then what? I have taught my kids this one thing that allows them to save their energy and I share it with you here. Tune in...

I am fascinated with time. My relationship with time is intriguing to me. What is your relationship with time? How do you interact with it? It never stands still. It never stops, yet we believe that we run out of it? What do your children understand about time? Will your patterns become theirs? Tune in...

Letting go of material things that no longer serve us is one thing, but learning to let go of the non-tangible things like for example, expectations, the need to be perfect, inherited beliefs and conditioning, control, the need to do everything is even better. The trees are letting go of their leaves! What are you going let go of this fall?

In this episode, I share with you some of the things that my kids now do for themselves and how empowering it has been for them. It can be damaging to a child's developing sense of self and self-esteem to have a parent do too much for them as it strips them of the capacity to learn how to do it for themselves and feel capable as a result of doing it. Tune in...

Sharing a mistake we might have made and the action we took as a result of it is a powerful way to help children realize that it's okay to make mistakes. It helps them develop the capacity to own their mistake, not deny it and come up with a plan. It helps them learn and grow and role modeling this to them is so important. Tune in...

In this episode, I share with you a success story with a mom I worked with years ago. Her son was super controlling and with my support, she got through it. Wind the clock forward about 6 years and this boy knew exactly what to do when he had to "look after" a strong-willed child! Tune in...

Do you know you have 50,000 - 70,000 thoughts per day! That's 35 - 48 per minute. It's mind-boggling for me to try and get my mind around that. Add to this, we spend 54% of our time not where our minds are. If this isn't motivation to do something about it, I don't know what is. Not the thoughts. Those are okay. It's the not being present bit that blows my mind. If you are keen to do something about it, tune in...

If you don't have enough energy to deal with the pushback you might get from asking your child to do something, like picking up their toys or their "stuff", I truly believe it's better not to ask. Tune in and I'll tell you why...

It is so vital that we create a safe place for our children to feel vulnerable enough to share things with us. If they fear us, our reaction, a punishment or being judged, they will never tell us anything. Tune in...

Tapping into Mother Nature has helped bring so much more gratitude, peace and calm into my life as a mom. "She" is my ultimate teacher. Learning to use her magnificence and expansiveness to guide me as a mom has been powerful. So much so that I had to share it with you. Tune in...

This little word is so inspirational for me. I use it a lot to help my kids understand that just because they might not be able to do something now, does not mean they will not be able to do it ever. Add yet and it immediately delivers hope. Tune in...

When I talk about giving, I don't mean gifts and things, I mean of ourselves. I spent many years feeling unappreciated until I realized that I was, unbeknownst to me, creating the dissatisfaction within myself. When I realized this, life changed dramatically. And for the better. Tune in...

There are times when kids can be and are infuriating. I hear you. And it can cause you to become irritable and impatient with them. Don't worry, you are not alone. In this episode, I share with you what I do to try and curb it because at the end of the day, it never feels good to be impatient with a child, tween or teen and the ramifications of doing so, are not good for them either. Tune in...

In celebration of this, the 100th episode on the podcast, I am sharing my story.

A bit longer than usual but I hope you enjoy getting to know me a bit better. Tune in...

It is so important that our kids see us prioritizing our self-care and us meeting our needs so that they learn to do this for themselves. How else will they learn? I want my daughter to value her self-care and do what she needs to do to show up as the best version of herself. I want my sons to do it too. Tune in...

If we are not careful we can get so caught up in trying to be something or someone that we are not. We think we should be more like so in so because she has got her s#*t together or whatever it might be... So, she might have, but you don't have to be like her. You only have to be like YOU. Tune in...

Ever heard that from your kids? If so, just know that you are not the only one. Last night my son announced he wanted a new backpack and that he would be the only one who won't have a new one... In this episode, I share with you what I said, or didn't... Tune in!

We are all pretty darn good at giving this to others (but not always to our kiddos) but generally not so good at giving it to ourselves. I'm hopeless at it! Can you guess what it is? I'm going to keep you in suspense, tune in...

When I realized just how much "shoulding" I was doing it was scary! But I'm so glad that I discovered it because letting go of the should's has had a profound effect on me in my role as a mom and for my kids. Do you should on those around you? Tune in...

The truth is sometimes hard to face and never more so than the moment we realize that we have played a part in creating some of the socially unacceptable patterns of behaviour we see in our children (eg. not listening, disrespect, control). In order to fix things, we need to look at fixing ourselves over trying to fix our kiddos. They are not broken. Tune in...

In this episode, I have a special guest with me... my 13-year-old son! He has meditated for a few years now and has gained some valuable insights on it all. It's always great to hear it from the mouths of babes. Tune in...

We all spend $$$ and time to make sure our phones are equipped with the latest operating systems but what if we were to do the same for our minds. How could we? Why would we? And should we? I believe we "should" be doing this. I do and it has been deeply rewarding, especially in my role as a parent. Tune in...
Mindset by Carol Dweck is the book I referred to in this episode.

When our child has a meltdown it is vitally important that we do not join them with an "adult" meltdown of our own! It can be oh so hard to remain cool, calm and collected but we have to. In this episode I discuss the three steps you can take to make sure you stay on the high road and in Episode 89, I discuss an example. Tune in...

Have you ever stopped to think why your kids might have developed certain patterns of behaviour? Whilst understanding this can be a bitter pill to swallow, understanding it can be very revealing and rewarding. Tune in...

Round peg in a square hole. Square peg in a round hole. Don't get me started! Too many parents are told that their child just doesn't fit in and this breaks my heart. As parents, we need to help our child see their "shape" as being perfect & unique just the way they are. That they are WHOLE and don't have change who it is they are to fit in any HOLE. Tune in...

In this episode, I share with you how my ability to show up in the moment with compassion and calm allowed me to parent in a way that worked for both my son and I. Had I said what I really "wanted" to say, it would have gone downhill and fast. Tune in...

Your parenting style & your behaviour shapes your child's behaviour more than you realize and more than anything else in their lives. How you show up in the moment and respond to them matters. Tune in...

Understanding this key thing about behaviour was one of those AHA moments for both my husband and me. In this episode, I take you through it and offer you 3 super important questions to ask yourself in relation to your child's behaviour. Tune in...

If you haven't already listened to Episode 79, please do so before you listen to this because it will help you create new bedtime patterns and routines. However, when things have just got too late the kids just can't get to sleep earlier. Don't worry, I have a plan for you. Tune in...

This is such a challenge for so many parents. Life is busy right! There is a way and in this episode, I share with you my bedtime secrets. Clue: It all depends on the way you are showing up. Tune in...
And don't forget to listen to Episode 76, it paves the way for what you have to do here.

In order to break the toxic cycles of control that might exist in your home, you first have to understand why they are there and why your child is running the show. There's a reason for it all. Tune in...
If you haven't had a chance to listen to Episode 76 and 77, they speak to this and will be helpful to you in your quest to change any patterns of unhealthy control.

I get more calls from parents regarding this than anything else. So, if you struggle with this, you are not alone. Understanding the one fundamental thing that I share in this podcast is key to dealing with this and changing the patterns. You have to start with this. Tune in...
If you have not yet listened to Episode 76, I encourage you to do so as it speaks to this and will help you start to break the patterns.

If you are struggling to set and hold the limits on Screen Time with your child, this is for you. I discuss a genius strategy that my dear friend Kate Muker came up with for her 5-year-old. Tune in...
Kate is a proud, conscious mama who uses entrepreneurship to fulfil her purpose: creating opportunities for women to live a connected abundant life. You can check out Kate's website here:

It's so easy to become frustrated, impatient and judgmental when parenting a child with ADHD. However, it never works, for you or your child. Compassion and empathy is what your child really needs. Tune in...

In order to parent "well", I believe that being able to empty our mind of the constant planning, what if's, should's, doubts and worries is THE most important thing we can do. Simply put, if we can't do this and develop the skill to mind our minds, we cannot hope to be present with our child and give him/her what he/she needs. Curious? Tune in...

It can be terrifying when your child venomously shouts "I hate you". But... do you believe them? What do you do? What do you say? How do you respond? In this episode, I discuss some things that have helped many parents and share in the hope it will help you too. Tune in...

With the best of intentions, many parents turn to timeouts only to find the tantrum or unacceptable behaviour continues. In this episode I explain why they don't work and share with you an alternative technique that works really well.

With the kids home from school, do you find yourself catering to everyone else's needs and forgetting about your own? In this episode, I share with you what I do to make sure I honour my needs. When I do this, life is always better, for everyone. Tune in...

I don't know about you, but typically, around four weeks into the summer holidays, the coffee table can resemble a bit of a junkyard! When my living room takes on that "holiday" look, here's what I do to reset things and restore some order. Tune in...

How do you know when they might want to chat? They can be hard to read, but if you look carefully, the signs will be there. When I found what I was looking for, I keep finding more of it! In this episode, I share with you some of my tips. Tune in...

I had the fortune of stumbling across this BRILLIANT video in my Facebook feed. Too good to miss and a great thing to chat about in today's episode on the Parenting In The Thick Of It Show. Tune in and catch the video in the link below:

I used to think multi-tasking was the bee all and end all. Don't get me wrong, it definitely has its place but is the kiss of death if it becomes all we do. It is vital that we know when we can and when we can't so we don't become The Queen Of Distraction. Tune in...

When my kids know exactly what is expected of them on any given day during the holidays, the days are way better. Despite wishing they were born with crystal ball reading skills, alas, they were not! I have to tell them. But when I remember to do this, life is much calmer. Tune in...

Do you know that the average child in America spends only 5 minutes per day freely playing outside? I found this staggering. I knew the stats were bad, but this bad! In this episode, I discuss what you can do to help your child develop an interest in the real world versus being caught up in the thrill of the virtual one. It is VITAL to the healthy development of their brains. I share with you the blog post that inspired me to talk to this.
https://simpleasthatblog.com/trade-screen-time-for-green-time/

This causes many parents much anguish, myself included. Yet, our children claim that it helps them study more effectively!!! What do we do? Lo-Fi might just be a better alternative. If you don't know what it is, tune in...

Little is written and spoken about the fact that adults are becoming more and more distracted by their smartphones. And it is wreaking havoc with their ability to connect with their children. Never before have a generation of parents spent so much "time" face to face with their children and yet be so disconnected from them. This is a huge problem. Tune in...

Many parents I work with say this:
"When I was his age, I was working so hard... I just don't know why he can't seem to do it?"
"Because he is not you" I reply compassionately.
It's a tough place to find yourself but as long as we "put" our expectations on our child, they will most probably resist. And, at the end of the day, by the time they are teenagers, it's pretty hard to force them, without the use of bribes, rewards or punishment, which, never works long term. Tune in..

There is nothing that says we "should" know how to parent. In fact, how can we fully know how to do something that we have never done before? Yet, the reality is, many parents are embarrassed and ashamed of the fact that they sometimes find themselves not knowing what to do. In this episode, I discuss the fact that I see this admission as a sign of great strength. Tune in...

There is nothing that can test us quite like a toddler or teen. It can be exhausting and leave us feeling like we have failed as a parent. Believe it or not, toddlers and teens have a lot in common. When we get these 3 key things right, we find ourselves able to work with them rather than against them. Tune in...

When your child argues with you and negotiates with you over everything, it can leave you feeling at your wit's end. In this episode I discuss some strategies that work well for managing exactly this. Tune in...

In episode 45 I discussed the subject of our child's behavior and the fact that there is always more to it than meets the eye. We are no different. If we hope to be able to "react" in socially acceptable ways to our child's various behaviors we have to be aware of all that is going on beneath the surface within us. We have to address our unmet needs. Tune in...

In this episode I help you understand WHY your child sometimes behaves the way he/she does. There's always more going on than meets the eye. We have to ask ourselves: what is the unmet need beneath the behavior and there is always one, if not more. Tune in...

On the show today, I talk you through how you can start to meditate, what you will do and what might happen when you start. We all like to know what to expect, so this is what to expect!
At the 4.5 minute mark, I take you through a 2 minute guided meditation, just as I do in my meditation practice. You can use this 2-minute meditation every day to help get you started. It's pretty simple... just you and your breath. Tune in

I have been discussing the topic of mindfulness and meditation on the Podcast a lot recently. And for good reason. If you are interested in finding more about meditation and HOW you can start to do it, tune in to the show today...

It's Friday and on the podcast today, I read my most recent blog post: Do You Struggle To Set Boundaries Around Screen Time? Tune in if you need some extra help with this common challenge. It is one that almost every parent I know struggles with. We blame the screens, but at the end of the day, when we can see that the bigger problem is actually our inability to set effective boundaries around it: for ourselves and for our children, we can take positive steps to doing something about it. Within the blog post is access to an awesome Guide & Workbook which I created to help you put it all into action.

And for years I've been onto it too, and trust me, I'm so not "woowoo"! At least I don't think I am. Haha! So many parents say to me that they want to find ways to really connect with their child. This is how you do it. You have to first connect with YOURSELF. Tune in...

Doing this has been THE most empowering and rewarding thing in my life as a parent. I cannot stress this enough. I truly believe that THIS is where it is at. It is doing THIS that will help you stay calm in the moment when you are caught up in the thick of it. It's the only way out! Tune in...

This is where it's at. If you can master this, you are good to go! Haha, wouldn't that be nice! It is a work in progress but with practice, you can become so attuned with where your mind is that in the moment, you are more able to sniff the reactivity rising within you and stop it before you do any further damage! Such an important skill to develop. Tune in...

Sometimes when you are so caught up IN IT, and in the thick of it, you just can't see a way out. Being able to look into it from the outside, offers us the chance to see the big picture. From here, the next step is often more obvious than you realize. Tune in...

Sibling Rivalry... it's so draining and awful to watch and be a part of. What many parents don't realize is that they are inadvertently, and unintentionally, fuelling the fire. If you struggle with this and it's been going on for too long, you will be fuelling the fire! Tune in and find out why, and what you can do.

One minute you are oooogling over how much you love them, then BOOM... you are triggered beyond anything you have ever experienced before! In this episode I share with you some ways to help you communicate with your teenagers and steer discussions in a specific direction without lecturing! Tune in...

This is possibly one of the most important things we have done as a family and doing so has given our 3 kids the opportunity to develop some super important life skills. Curious... Tune in!

Such a HUGE topic and one which I'll no doubt revisit over and over again on the show. It's a challenge to all of us but WHY? Why does it bother us as much as it does? You HAVE TO work out your why in order to deal with this beast. Tune in as I share what I try and do...

Understanding and recognizing the difference between praise and encouragement cannot be under-estimated. One helps your child in more ways than you could imagine whilst the other... it's toxic. Tune in. I also wrote about this in a recent blog post and have an awesome FREE download that accompanies it. Knowing this took my parenting to another level altogether. You can find it here: http://yourparentingpartner.com/discussing-report-cards-with-kids/

When things get heated it's easy to forget about the most important thing - to validate our child's feelings. All too often we go straight to the point, to "fix" things only to find it fuels the fire. Tune in and find out what you can do...

Many parents struggle with consequences. How, What, When, Why? Consequences are the greatest of teachers for our children because they teach them cause and effect: if X then Y. This is something they have to learn and these tips will help you handle consequences more effectively. Tune in...

Have you thought about how a conversation might go in the event that your teen comes home drunk or stoned? What will you say and do? In the episode today I discuss just this. What works and what might not work. Some ideas and food for thought. Tune in...

This time of the year can be a stressful one for parents but also for children. Kids today are under so much pressure to achieve that I believe it is almost at breaking point. In this episode I discuss ways in which you can deal with this, specifically in helping you shift your focus from the grade or result to the process that will bring about the result. THIS is where the magic can happen. Tune in...

There's nothing more frustrating than a child who will not eat what you put in front of him/her. In this podcast I share 8 tips which will help you manage this with more ease. You can find all the tips I discuss in this episode in the blog post (link below) including access to a cheat sheet (summary of all the tips), weekly meal planning table and family food preference table. http://yourparentingpartner.com/how-do-i-get-my-kid-to-eat/

Setting the boundary is the easy piece - "You can have 30 minutes on your iPad". However, making sure it IS 30 minutes is the hard part. Why is it so hard? Because kids will push back on it. Every time. They don't want it to end. In this episode I discuss just this and what you can do. Listen in...

The holidays are fast approaching and remember, history repeats itself...They often are far from the relaxing break we thought we would be getting! Yes? In todays episode I discuss what you can do in advance of the holidays to bring more R and R. Tune in...

Have you ever read a parenting book, got some awesome advice and tips only to find they missed the biggest piece... that being what to do when what they recommend doesn't work!! In this episode I discuss this help you understand what does work and why. Tune in...

Judgment... Do you do it? Are you aware of when you do it and why it never turns out well? It's a toxic pattern and one that many parents do without even knowing they are doing. In this episode I explain why we do it and what you can do to get out of it. Tune in...

Sometimes kids find it hard to actually get to sleep, adults too!! It can often be just the perfect time for our minds to take us for a ride. In this episode I share how I help my son to mind his mind, exit his mind, and use his breath to help him get to sleep. Listen in...

What do you do? In this episode I discuss this and give you lots of ideas and tips around the subject of apologizing. It is so so vital that our kids are able to apologize and it all starts with us and our ability to role model this behaviour to them.

Our behaviours and responses to what we see on our child's report card is critical to them developing courage and self-motivation... or not. We have to be aware of how powerful our influence is regarding this. Listen in.

Children inherit so many of their behaviours from us, their parents so best we give them something acceptable and good to imitate! In this episode I discuss just this and how being aware of our internal landscape can help us shape our behaviours more positively.

In this episode I discuss just this and what happens when you use these methods to "discipline" your child. I refer to a piece called "No Need For Threats" on page 32 of The Parents Tao Te Ching by William Martin.

How do you respond to that? It seems like no matter what you say, it's never right? Trust me you are not alone! If you struggle with this, tune in. In this episode I discuss ways that work for me and give you lots of ideas to try out.

Life is so busy for parents today. There are so many distractions. So many things our children can do and be a part of. We have to be unabashedly badass in our ability to make sure our children are getting their basic needs met.

Almost every emotional reaction you have will be as a result of an unmet expectation. They play a huge part in our lives as parents and learning to manage them well and understand the impact of them, is key to being able to find more joy, calm and ease in your life as a parent.
